****************************************************************************
The idea of this book series Logic PhDs is to publish
PhD dissertations on logic (exclusively on logic but all aspects of logic):
(1) important PhDs from the past
(2) the best recent ones.
The idea is not only to publish the dissertation but to have an extended presentation of the author and his work:
(a) To give precise details of the circumstances of the PhD and an analysis of its content.
(b) To describe the background both from the perspectives of the history of logic and personal bio of the author
(c) To explain further developments after the PhD, also in both perspectives (in case of recent PhDs: expectations of future developments).

In case the original is not in English, we will publish the original and the translation.
It maybe be useful in some cases also to include additional materials by the author of the PhD.
